udrop.com is back... :  https://notopening.com/site/udrop.com 🤔

I did test on that site.

I uploaded some crk app.

And I don't even share and kept for myself.

But later they removed.

Tested 2 times.

My opinion, 👎

Me too, I had this bad experience of having patched apps deleted without any explanation. 🤔
I wrote to them three times without a response.

In my opinion, this site is not reliable. 👎

If no serious objection, I will remove this site from my recommended list of Free Filehosting sites.

@hpwamr and others - I did not have good luck with download.gg as it seems my uploads keeps getting deleted on the same day even when I password protected the files or does it have to be named differently?

Maybe because what the file contains and they scan it?

One of them is just the download available on the program's site available to everyone like the main PDF Element installer.exe file, not even talking about medz.

Well, a file Upload was successful.

But Downloading the same file remains on a blank page with the message "Wrong IP".

In addition, Kaspersky blocks the Download with following messages: Event: Download denied, etc...

Yea I am suspicious of the host. Seeing they already had my email.

So looking like it is another host that changed its name.
